Review and Selection Process

An appropriate Scientific Review Group (or groups), along with NCI, and the National Cancer Advisory Board (NCAB) will evaluate your application for conformance with eligibility requirements. Subcommittee I convened by the Division of Extramural Activities of the NCI will determine if it meets the broad needs of the program and priorities of NCI and the National Cancer Program.

For review criteria for the K25 grant mechanism, see the Review Criteria section of the Program Announcement.
